Abstract
An apparatus for preventing biofouling caused by deposition and propagation of shellfish and algae in a cooling water system using sea water or river water for example, in a power plant, by periodically feeding ozone at high concentration to the system. An ozonizer is combined with an ozone-adsorbing and desorbing device so as to store ozone by adsorbing of an adsorbent and for a long time at lower temperature and desorbing ozone by periodically sucking at higher temperature if desired, by a water ejector.
